Embolo loves to fake an injury Jesus wept

[Evo1883]

England simply all over the place tbh , very poor half so far .

 

[Evo1883]

England score , luke Shaw, against the run of play really

Poor by the Swiss defender , England capitalise

 

[Nick]

Great finish

 

[Grendel]

Var at its finest

 

[Ian1779]

You’d be pissed off if that pen was given against you.

Shouldn't have taken anywhere near that long. It's a bit silly when it's that clear.

Nah, arm was up. It's handball.

its a shite decision the guy had his back to the header - in full real time it’s never a penalty - it’s nonsense like that which is ruining the game you’d literally encourage players to not find the goal but find a players hand by blasting at his face

 

[Ian1779]

Nah, arm was up. It's handball.

If it had hit him from the original cross then fair enough. But he’s used his arms for momentum to jump and it’s hit him from behind. Knew nothing about it.

Not sure turning your back has ever been a strong defence.

Those are always given by VAR. By rule it's a penalty.

 

[Grendel]

So if someone whacks there ball ar someone’s face should they raise their arms to protect their face or risk concussion and subsequent potential brain injury?

To be fair it wasn't at his head. It was next to it. I get the guy couldn't do much about it, and I don't necessarily like it, but by rule it's a penalty.

nah var is just shite

Not sure he turned his back to be fair. He jumped for the original cross which went over his head and it was headed back from behind against his arm.
The interpretation of the rule is what is shit in that example.

 

[Evo1883]

Wins a win

 

[Tommo1993]

“Overrated” Kane will hit top spot and stay there for 3000 years.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I've never seen Grendel pleased with an England or Cov win

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Nah, arm was up. It's handball.

It's one where I feel that it affected play and so should be penalised but not by a penalty. If they were given as indirect free kicks I'd be fine with things like that being given.

 

[Evo1883]

England line up v ivory Coast

 

[Evo1883]

Also tonight we have Portugal v north macedonia and Poland v Sweden to see who reaches the world cup

 

[Evo1883]

Sterling does fantastically well , Watkins scores

 

[no_loyalty]

Portugal winning, I am hoping for another upset but probably a bridge too far for North Macedonia.

 

[Otis]

Grealish has been excellent tonight.

 

[Evo1883]

Sterling scores 2-0 HT

 

[Liquid Gold]

Quick someone pull out the big book of all the reasons he is shit.

 

[Grendel]

[Tommo1993]

Now I’m all for City players surrounding the ref. But wagging fingers in their faces is just plain scummy, right decision or not.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Bullshit pen call for Poland.

You're apparently allowed to jump into someone and fall over now and it's a pen.

Portugal getting every decision in that game too.

 

[Nick]

How's he not booked that player?

 

[Otis]

We should have left the first half team on. This is so incredibly dull

 

[cowboy1850]

England u-17 0-2 Luxembourg u-17

What happened there...?!

 

[Evo1883]

Portugal won 2-0
Poland won 2-0
